THE FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENT HOLY EUCHARIST: Rite II April 7, 2019 10:00 a.m. Welcome to St. Barnabas, we are delighted that you re here. We hope you ll participate fully in our worship through singing, prayer, hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ, and coming to communion. May God richly bless you as you bless us! WELCOME INTO THE QUIET Lent serves as our annual invitation to come closer to God. It provides a time to look at our lives and ourselves, not so we may criticize ourselves more harshly but so we can identify the obstructions that keep us from feeling the presence of the divine in our every day. How do we hide from God, and why? Lent gives us a chance to look at such obstructions and to move them gently away so that we can come closer to the Love that gives us life Thus Lent offers a gift of time and a promise of closeness From A Clearing Season: Reflections for Lent All stand as able at the sound of the tower bell. HYMN (sung by all, next page) Christ is made the sure foundation (HYMNAL 518) Mary Anoints Jesus' Feet - Anonymous (German school, 16th century)

THE OPENING ACCLAMATION Presiding Priest Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins People God s mercy endures for ever. COLLECT FOR PURITY Presiding Priest and People Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. LORD, HAVE MERCY THE COLLECT OF THE DAY Presiding Priest The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Presiding Priest Let us pray. Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. - 3 -
THE WORD OF GOD THE FIRST READING (seated) Isaiah 43:16-21 READER: A Reading from the Book of Isaiah Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, who brings out chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick: Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild animals will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, the people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise. Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God s people. People Thanks be to God. Silence is marked by the ringing of a bell. THE RESPONSE (remain seated, sung by all) Psalm 126 Cantor: 1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of / Zion, * then were we like \ those who dream. Choir: 2 Then was our mouth filled with / laughter, * and our tongue with \ shouts of joy. All: 3 Then they said among the / nations, * The Lord has done great \ things for them. 4 The Lord has done great / things for us, * and we are \ glad indeed. 5 Restore our fortunes, / O Lord, * like the watercourses of \ the Negev. 6 Those who / sowed with tears * will reap with \ songs of joy. 7 Those who go out weeping, carrying / the seed, * will come again with joy, shoulder\ing their sheaves. THE SECOND READING Philippians 3:4b-14 READER: A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Philippians If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the - 4 -
sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus. Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God s people. People Thanks be to God. Silence is marked by the ringing of a bell. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Choir, then all, and after the verse: VERSE: The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone; this is the Lord s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. THE GOSPEL John 12:1-8 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said, Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor? (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.) Jesus said, Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. THE SERMON (seated) Silence is marked by the ringing of a bell. Karen Haig - 5 -
THE NICENE CREED (standing as able) Presiding Priest and People We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary; and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE In the course of the silence after each bidding, the People offer their own prayers, either silently or aloud. Form II I ask your prayers for God's people throughout the world; for Michael, our Presiding Bishop; Gregory, our Bishop; Karen, our Rector; Dan, our Deacon; and Nancy, Judith, Patricia, Jan and Jim, priests among us; all who minister in Christ; and for all the holy people of God. In our Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the Church of Church of Ireland and The Most Revd Richard Lionel Clarke, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland and Metropolitan. In our Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for St. Matthew/San Mateo in Auburn, Good Shepard in Federal Way, and St. Elizabeth in Burien. Pray for the Church. Silence I ask your prayers for peace; for goodwill among nations; and for the well-being of all people. Pray for justice and peace. Silence I ask your prayers for the poor, the sick, the hungry, the oppressed, and those in prison. Pray for those in any need or trouble. Silence I ask your prayers for all who seek God, or a deeper knowledge of God. Pray that they may find and be found by God. Silence I ask for your prayers for all in need of healing, peace, and comfort. [especially ]. Silence I ask your prayers for the departed [especially ]. Pray for those who have died. Silence - 6 -
Dear people of God, for whom else or what else shall we pray? Members of the congregation offer prayers either silently or aloud The Presiding Priest adds a concluding Collect. Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Silence may be kept. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. The Presiding Priest says Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. THE PEACE Presiding Priest The peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you. WELCOME, BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES & ANNOUNCEMENTS (seated) THE HOLY COMMUNION Please remain seated. At the offertory sentence, an offering of money is collected. ANTHEM Drop, drop slow tears Orlando Gibbons Drop, drop, slow tears, And bathe those beauteous feet Which brought from Heaven The news and Prince of Peace: Cease not, wet eyes, His mercy to entreat; To cry for vengeance Sin doth never cease. In your deep floods Drown all my faults and fears; Nor let His eye See sin, but through my tears. Text: Phineas Fletcher (1582-1650) PRESENTATION ANTHEM (standing as able) Presiding Priest All things come from you, O Lord, People And of your own have we given you. - 7 -
THE GREAT THANKSGIVING The people remain standing. The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who was tempted in every way as we are, yet did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: HOLY, HOLY Plainsong, Mass 18; adapt. Mason Martens Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world. On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me. - 8 -
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD The Presiding Priest breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept. ACCLAMATION AFTER THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD Sung responsively. Anaphora chant; Mass 18; adapt. Mason Martens THE INVITATION TO COMMUNION The Gifts of God for the People of God. COMMUNION OF THE PEOPLE This is the Lord s table around which we gather. All are invited to come forward and receive the bread and wine of the Eucharist.
